Responsibilities of an editor

Attend our weekly meetings

Our meetings last an hour at various locations in the Memorial Union. Before every quarter, we send out a poll to select a meeting time that fits in with everyone’s schedules.

Contribute new submissions

Every quarter, we ask editors to pitch a paper idea to the board and submit at an agreed upon deadline.

Read and review submissions on a weekly basis

As an editor, you are assigned papers weekly to edit by the meeting the following week. During finals week, editors get an extra week to complete their duties.

Work with other editors to develop content ideas for the journal

All board members are active in decision making at our meetings. We value diversified conversation to expand our work and content.

Plan and participate in publicizing events on campus

Our activities range from emailing out to listservs, tabling at the Memorial Union, and representing the journal at Involvement Fair. Our goal is to get people interested in reading, applying, and publishing with us.

FAQ’s about Applying

Why do you want anonymized documents?

The Aggie Transcript anonymizes all applications and submissions before reviewing them, to help reduce any bias that may be present. Every year we receive several applications, each of which takes immense time to thoroughly anonymize. Please help us speed up our application review process by submitting anonymized documents.

I’m interested in multiple positions, can I apply for both?

Yes! Please indicate in your email all the positions that you are interested in applying in. Also, please let us know if you would prefer one over the other.

 What does “priority consideration” mean?

Priority consideration means that your application will be considered in the application cycle for that quarter. After that date, applications will be held until the next quarter’s application cycle and considered as a part of that batch. Exceptions to this may be made on a case per case basis, however, this is a rare occurrence.

Does my writing sample have to be scientific?

No! The Aggie Transcript has received applications with a wide range of writing samples in the past. Some general advice for your application is to focus on the quality and style of your writing as opposed to the subject. If you would like examples of what is considered an excellent writing sample, feel free to check out any of our print editions!
